60 Ah is plenty Sandun! In fact 45 Ah would be plenty - especially as you don't need to do cold weather starts....... :roll: :lol:

Sandun, Roy meant it as a joke as you live in a country where it is warmer than ours :D
You can use either the 45 Ah or the 60 Ah, both will be suitable for your minor.
Think of the Ah as a bucket, the bigger the Ah the longer it will take to fill.

Is it really worth the hassle and risk Sandun ? You can try emptying out the old acid, washing out with clean water - and then refilling with acid, charging it up - and then adjusting the acid 'gravity' to 1.275.....but seriously - are new batteries really expensive in SL ?? :roll:
